Looking for a Missing Family Member?
Nepal Red Cross has activated Restoring Family Links services as part of its flood response.
A help desk has been established in Nuwakot to assist affected people in reconnecting with relatives.
If you are looking for someone:
- Contact Nepal Red Cross through official channels.
- Contact Nepal Police or local authorities.
- If the missing person is a foreign national, contact their embassy or consular service.
- Provide the person's full name and last known location.
- Share only confirmed identifying information with trusted organisations.
Avoid relying solely on unofficial social-media lists because names and statuses can change during rescue operations.
What Type of Relief Is Being Provided?
Relief needs vary by community and may change as damaged areas become accessible.
Ready-to-eat food is important where cooking facilities are unavailable.
Flooding can contaminate local water supplies.
Families displaced from damaged homes may require temporary shelter assistance.
Flood injuries and disrupted access can create urgent healthcare needs.
Communication support can help relatives reconnect after displacement.
Damaged roads and bridges make delivery of relief supplies difficult.
How to Donate Safely
Disasters often attract both genuine donors and scammers. Before sending money, confirm that you are using the official website of a recognized humanitarian organisation.
Type or verify the official organisation website instead of trusting random payment links shared on social media.
Confirm the organisation is established and actively involved in disaster response.
Verify the recipient name before completing any bank, card or digital-wallet payment.
Save confirmation of your donation for your own records.
Official Nepal Red Cross Donation
Nepal Red Cross operates its own official donation portal.
NepalFloodNews.com does not process or receive donations. The button below takes you directly to the official Nepal Red Cross donation website.
Donate via Nepal Red Cross →Beware of Flood Donation Scams
Do not send money simply because a social-media post, message or website claims to collect funds for flood victims.
- Be careful with newly created donation pages.
- Avoid sending money to unknown personal accounts.
- Do not share banking passwords or OTP codes.
- Check whether the charity's website is genuine.
- Be suspicious of pressure to send money immediately.
- Verify QR codes before making payment.
Can You Volunteer?
Volunteers can play an important role during disasters, but uncoordinated travel into flood zones can interfere with rescue operations and create additional safety risks.
If you want to volunteer, register through an established organisation rather than travelling directly into an affected area without coordination.
Nepal Red Cross operates a large volunteer network and provides official information about volunteering through its website.
Nepal Red Cross →International Flood Assistance
International governments and humanitarian organisations have also mobilised assistance for Nepal.
Support being announced includes emergency supplies, medical assistance, humanitarian personnel, financial aid and logistics support.
The international response is developing rapidly, so specific aid totals should always be checked against current official announcements.

Why Relief May Take Time to Reach Some Areas
Flooding has damaged roads, bridges and communications in parts of the affected region.
Some communities may therefore be difficult to reach by road, requiring alternative transport or additional time for humanitarian teams to arrive.
Weather conditions and the possibility of further flooding can also temporarily interrupt rescue or relief work.
How We Verify Relief Information
NepalFloodNews.com checks relief information against government sources, Nepal Red Cross, established humanitarian organisations and reputable news agencies.
We do not publish private donation accounts or unverified fundraising links.
If an organisation changes its donation instructions or emergency services, this page should be updated to reflect the latest official information.
